How to add the 2025 colour of year to your workspace

The Pantone Colour of the Year program engages the design community and colour enthusiasts in a conversation around colour, highlighting the relationship between colour and culture. Pantone selects a colour each year that captures the global zeitgeist—the Colour of the Year express a global mood and an attitude, reflecting collective desire in the form of a single, distinct hue.

For 2025, the Pantone Colour Institute selects PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warming, brown hue imbued with richness. It nurtures us with its suggestion of the delectable qualities of chocolate and coffee, answering our desire for comfort.

Immerse your environment in understated elegance with PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a rich, flavorful brown that exudes sensorial warmth and refined sophistication. This versatile shade introduces a subtle touch of glamour, balancing earthy charm with timeless allure.

Mocha Mousse serves as a strong chromatic foundation, seamlessly complementing minimalist designs and more elaborate, richly adorned spaces. Its inherent versatility makes it a perfect choice for any colour-conscious industry, adding depth and harmony to diverse applications.

With its sophisticated, earthy elegance, PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse can stand alone or serve as a versatile foundation, enhancing a wide range of palettes and applications—from minimalist to richly detailed designs—across all colour-focused industries.

Transform your workspace by using Mocha Mousse as an accent colour on a single wall. This approach establishes a cozy focal point that draws the eye and anchors the space. To maintain balance and harmony, pair it with neutral tones like ivory, soft cream, or muted greys. These shades allow Mocha Mousse's warmth to shine without overwhelming the room.

Or, enhance the colour's richness by combining it with complementary tones. Deep greens or soft blues evoke a natural, grounded feel, while metallic accents like gold, bronze, or brushed copper add a touch of sophistication and modernity.

Introduce Mocha Mousse subtly with furniture pieces, like a sleek desk chair, a fabric ottoman, or even wooden furnishings with warm brown undertones. Smaller accents—such as vases, picture frames, or pen holders—can integrate the shade seamlessly into your workspace.

Overall, this cozy, yet refined hue is the ultimate neutral for anyone embracing the earthy tones that make your workspace feel grounded, organic, and effortlessly elevated. It's rich without being overpowering, with a muted sophistication (think: coffee with a splash of cream) that instantly warms up a space.
